Reports have emerged that British jihadist Thomas Evans, killed in an attack by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in Lamu County, was deported from Kenya in 2011.

Diplomatic sources alleged Evans was detained on arrival at Moi International Airport on an unspecified date in 2011, but Mombasa police said they were unaware of the reports.
